Reviews

  • "A sure-fire way to get a 1st class result"

    --Naomi M, law student, Coventry University

  • "Since I started using the OUP Q&A guides my grades have dramatically improved"

    --Glen Sylvester, law student, Bournemouth University

  • "100% would recommend. Makes you feel like you will pass with flying colours"

    --Elysia Marie Vaughan, law student, University of Hertfordshire

  • "Excellent. Very detailed answers which makes a change from the brief answers in other guides. They do not assume knowledge and explain things step by step which is fantastic"

    --Frances Easton, law student, University of Birmingham

  • "I would not hesitate to recommend this book to a friend"

    --Blessing Denhere, law student, Coventry University

  • "The content is exceptional; the best Q&A books that I've read"

    --Wendy Chinenye Akaigwe, law student, London Metropolitan University

  • "I think Q&A guides are crucial and advise my students to buy early on"

    --Loretta Trickett, law lecturer, Nottingham Trent University

  • "Much more substantial and less superficial than competitor Q&As. Some guides are rather too simplistic but the OUP guides are much better than the norm"

    --Dr. Tony Harvey, Principal Law Lecturer, Liverpool John Moores University

  • "Cleverly and carefully put together. Every bit as good as one would expect from OUP, you really have cornered the market in the revision guides sector. I am also a huge fan of the OUP Concentrate series and I think that these books sit neatly alongside this"

    --Alice Blythe, law lecturer, University of Bolton

  • "I do find OUP's Concentrate guides, as usual with your range of publications, at the top end of the range. I will happily recommend this book to my students"

    --Gerald Schaefer, law lecturer, Aberystwyth University

  • "Students often lack experience in writing full answers but seeing suggested answers like this provides them with confidence and structure. I will be recommending this book to my students. I will encourage the use of this text not just for revision purposes but for the duration of the unit"

    --Nick Longworth, law lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University

  • "I think it is very helpful for students to have examples of model answers and good analysis to help them with their formative work, and also for revision"

    --Jane Henderson, Senior Lecturer, The Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London
